There is a LOT to say about the intersections between gun violence, race, and gender. While this session won’t cover everything, it WILL introduce two questions: 1. Why does gun violence impact certain racial and gender demographics differently than it impacts others? And 2. How can we work in solidarity with one another across differences? Participants will continue to explore these questions throughout the remainder of the program (and beyond).
